United State of Pop 2011 – DJ Earworm Mashup – World Go Boom

Here it is! DJ Earworm‘s annual mashup United State of Pop 2011. He changed it up this year because Billboard’s year end list had an arbitrary cut off date that omitted some songs like Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love‘.

It doesn’t match Billboard’s U.S. year-end list, since I’m basing it off of the weekly lists this year in order to more accurately reflect what was actually popular during 2011. Because of the Billboard’s early cut off date and their emphasis on chart longevity, songs that are released after August are either split between the two years or moved to the next year. I also don’t want a track appearing two years in a row just because it happened to be peaking right at the arbitrary cutoff date. From my perspective, a song belongs in the year it peaked, not the year it ended its long run. For instance, “We Found Love”, which has been #1 for the last 8 weeks of the year, is nowhere to be seen in Billboard’s Top 25, and may not make it next year either. This year-end bias seems inaccurate to me, and I want to more truly reflect the pop music scene from the American perspective.

WORLD GO BOOM – Lyrics

Take, take it all
T-t-take the credit cards
Take everything tonight
Na na na come on, come on
Never gonna stop,
I’ll risk it all, I’ll risk it all again
Take it all
Take the house
Take my car
Take the change in my pocket
I’m a superstar
Never gonna stop
Let it happen

Maybe it’s hard
We will never be never be broken and scarred
There’s no way I’m turning back oh oh oh oh
Here’s the situation
Got this feeling that you can’t fight
Been to every nation
The city is on fire tonight
You wanted control
But you’re a liar
And now everything is on fire
Don’t underestimate things like this
Me and all the other kids don’t give a (do-don’t give a)
K-kiss kiss it all k-k-kiss it all away
If there’s nothing left,
Baby I was born this way
Easy come, easy go
Think I forgot to say
Never gonna stop

We could have had it all
We could have had everything tonight
There’s a fire starting in my heart
and I ain’t afraid to show it show it show it
I just can’t get enough
Ooo, burn burn burn burn burn down in flames
ignite the fire
Ooo, burn burn burn burn burn down in flames
Like the 4th of July
Booo-ooo-ooom!

I got my pop, I got my dance I got that rock and roll
You can take everything but you can’t take my soul
Never gonna stop,
I’ll risk it all, I’ll risk it all again
Take it all
Take the house
Take my car
Take the change in my pocket
I’m a superstar
We ain’t stoppin’
Never gonna stop
Let it happen

Keep on dancing til the world go
Boom boom boom boom boom boom all again
Now we’re standing side by side
Boom boom boom boom ba doom boom boom boom booo-ooo-ooom in a hopeless place
Let the world go
Boom (woohoo) boom boom boom (woohoo) boom boom
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
Boom boom boom boom ba doom boom boom boom
But I’ve got to let it go
Let the world go

Boom boom boom boom boom boom all again
Now we’re standing side by side
Boom boom boom boom ba doom boom boom boom booo-ooo-ooom in a hopeless place
Take, take it all, t-t-take the credit cards
Boom boom boom boom boom boom
Take everything tonight
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
boom boom boom
Never gonna stop,
Let the world go booo-ooo-ooom in a hopeless place

The show goes on
every night and day
The dream goes on
standing side by side
all again
